Le Vian 0.88 CTW Montana Sapphire Pendant in 14K White Gold

She reads the label on everything and asks where the beef came from. You have never once slipped a knockoff past her, and you gave up trying years ago. She likes to know what she's actually buying, and most jewelry can't survive that question. A stone in a glass case comes from nowhere in particular, and nobody at the counter can tell her different.

These four sapphires can. They were mined out of the ground in Montana, not grown in a lab and not imported. Somebody pulled them from a riverbed in Big Sky country. The blue runs a little grayer and quieter than the flashy sapphires in every mall case, and they're set in vanilla gold, a warm off-white that flatters the stone instead of shouting over it. The pendant sits right at the collarbone and reads as quiet money.

14-karat vanilla gold set with four Montana sapphires, 0.88 carats total weight.

She'll ask you where the stone came from before she says thank you. This time, you've got a real answer.
